The decision was not in a doc. It was in a Claude Code session on my cofounder's laptop
Description and use
<p>Three weeks ago my cofounder recommended we not do monthly license keys.</p> <p>I could not have told you that this morning. I knew the decision. I could not have told you who argued for it, when, or why. It was never written in a doc. It happened inside a Claude Code session on his laptop, on a Tuesday, while he was reviewing two pull requests about something else.</p> <p>So this morning I searched for it. One query, across my team's history, from my own laptop. Three results, eleven days apart, in order.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-d
